One would think it does not take much intelligence to get out from under the thumb of the mid east oil shieks, kings, prices and who ever elase belongs to the clan that has us over this barrel:

Instead of working at trying to make sure we don't upset them why does Obama not take the opportunity to do something right and show leadership?

He really does have several golden opportunities to rise above the business as usual starting with being able to announce our intent to be free of the mid east oil...what an opportunity to demonstrate leadership...what an opportunity to truly point to an action guaranteed to create hundreds of thousands of new jobs.

Like those before him...it ain't gonna happen... as long as we the people continue to be OK with nobody in Washington doing anything about it.

One day when the oil supply is truly interrupted for what ever reason...and we do not have gasoline or jet fuel or truck fuel...it will be too late...the ones who say it will take 10 years to see a difference know what a disaster it will in fact become...even here in TV bubble. Do you know how many 10 year periods are in the last 40 years? That our dependence has been allowed to almost double.

when the interruption happens...it will be too late.
